Clyde River Wetlands Natural Community Mapping Project Final Report
Introduction: This project expanded upon natural community mapping conducted by the NorthWoods Stewardship Center in the wetlands of the Upper Clyde River Watershed in 2010-2011. A prior survey of wetlands throughout the Lake Memphremagog watershed in 1998 by the Vermont Nongame and Natural Heritage Program (NNHP) identified the upper Clyde River wetlands as one of the four most significant complexes in the Memphremagog watershed, and a priority area for additional study and conservation efforts (Engstrom et al. 1999). This assessment was based on the diversity and extent of wetland types found here, multiple high quality occurrences of natural community types that are uncommon statewide, and significant populations of multiple rare plant species.

Restoring Water Quality in the Lake Memphremagog Basin: River Corridor Plan for the Black River
Summary: The Black River Stream Geomorphic Assessments are part of an on-going partnership between the NorthWoods Stewardship Center and the State of Vermont to identify non-point pollution sources in the four main Vermont tributaries draining into Lake Memphremagog. These assessments aim to evaluate river stability and the condition of the adjacent landscape in order to determine the degree to which certain river reaches are impacting water quality as well as aquatic habitat.
